Astrophotography by Richard Harris
The Rosette Nebula, a vast region of ionized hydrogen gas located in the Monoceros constellation, is an emission nebula distinguished by its rose-like appearance. This celestial structure is approximately 5,000 light-years from Earth and spans about 130 light-years in diameter. At the heart of the Rosette Nebula lies the open star cluster NGC 2244, whose young, hot stars emit intense ultraviolet light, ionizing the surrounding gas and causing the nebula to glow. The nebula's intricate shapes and patterns are sculpted by the stellar winds and radiation from these stars, making it a fascinating subject for astrophotography.
